Shellbelle28 Posted November 2, 2014 #102 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks. Terrific review. We are booked on the Pearl in September 2015, your review is very helpful! Which "share" option do you use from Flickr to post your images? I get all kinds of extra junk text (or a complete fail!) when I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted November 2, 2014 #103 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thank you for posting lots of photos. They brought back wonderful memories of cruising on the Pearl and of Seattle and Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala_D Posted January 2, 2015 #106 Share Posted January 2, 2015 We enjoyed the amazing salad bar, then our waitress brought our plates for the meats. There was a group of 8-10 officers and that is where the gauchos served. There were two to three at the officers table and none in the rest of the restaurant. Our waitress brought the sides, which we ate, then brought us more fried bananas and still no meat. After about 15 minutes one gaucho circulated around the rest of the restaurant. During this time the others were all at the officers table. Once the officers finished then we were served. Obviously we did not starve, but it was aggravating to not be served while only the officers were. Our waitress was great and kept coming around to see if she could do anything, we wanted to say something to a manager, but never saw one. However, it was another great meal and Moderno is a unique experience to have on a cruise ship. __________________ BE SURE to say something if this happens in ANY of the restaurants. There should be a Maitre'D. If not, fill out a comment card in the lobby for the Hotel Director and you WILL get a reply. They need to know if things like this happen. That would not make me happy... especially in a restaurant with the cover charge. If anything is wrong and there is no officer nearby, always fill out the comment card and the Hotel Director will contact that department so it doesn't happen to someone else. He is in charge of everything, and you will always get a personal reply and apology.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took our information and the Maitre"D called us and apologized. We told him we did not want anything, we just wanted to be treated as guests that they valued. He offered a bottle of wine, but we said that wasn't what we were looking for. His apology helped and we felt the situation was resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie's Mom Posted January 4, 2015 #108 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks so much for this. We are scheduled on this cruise during this same week 2015. Any advice on warm clothes to take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alrichards4003 Posted January 5, 2015 Author #109 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks so much for this. We are scheduled on this cruise during this same week 2015. Any advice on warm clothes to take? We signed up for the thermal suite, but if you are not going to do that a swimsuit is not necessary. I recommend dressing in layers, a shirt, sweaters and a jacket, a scarf and gloves. We wore jeans and had a pair of black pants for the ship. I only packed one suitcase, the woman at the port commented on how light it was. DH of course brought the maximum, he brought the thermal underwear etc. I did not believe it was necessary. I hope you have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mush71 Posted April 13, 2015 #110 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thank You for the great pictures and review. I am so excited about our trip coming up. I see you said you put orders in for drinks during the Glacier Bay sailing. Do they do this for all the rooms? Is it like room service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alrichards4003 Posted April 15, 2015 Author #111 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank You for the great pictures and review. I am so excited about our trip coming up. I see you said you put orders in for drinks during the Glacier Bay sailing. Do they do this for all the rooms? Is it like room service? Thanks. Yes they have slips around the ship describing the drinks, you put your name roo number and time to be delivered and they bring it to you, so yes it is for all rooms. If you can afford it I highly recommend a Balcony for Glacier Bay, you can view from the open decks but are having to jostle with others for space, besides it is more windy. We started on the open decks, because it was recommended, but when we went to the room we enjoyed it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klr6773 Posted April 15, 2015 #113 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank you for taking so much time on your review! It gives me such a wonderful sneak peek of what we will have in store on our June sailing on the Pearl! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieDPT Posted April 15, 2015 #114 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just another thank you for taking the time to share in such a detailed manner. For those of us anxiously anticipating the very same cruise, and cabin type, in just over 4 weeks, it is invaluable! (and helps to keep from going crazy from excitement) You look like my type of cruiser! I plan to hit most of the spots you did, and enjoy similar activities...the attention and time with my DH, the beautiful scenery of Alaska, our balcony, and plenty of good food and drinks!

goingsailing Posted April 17, 2015 #117 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi, I was wondering if you could answer my question regarding if there is an extra charge for using the bowling alley on the Pearl? Or is it "free"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it "free"? I think it was $7 a game, a few years ago on Epic it was $5. Sometimes they have 2 for 1 specials. Not free but definitely less than Bingo or even a drink.
